EDUCATED FARMERS.
What They Have Done for the Adyanc
ment of Rural Interests

ment of Rural Interests
While it is not TO be inferred that
farmers are uneducated, or in any
sense inferior to other classes in intel
6gence. vet there is room for greater
educational expansion, which should
not be overlooked. 1t has been but a
decade since .'book-faTrai ng' was de-
rided as pastime. resulting in great
expense and no profit; but at the pres
ent day .'book-farming' is considered
indispensable in conducting practical
operations on the farm. The book
farmer as the phase is understood,
may not have been an adept in the use
of implements, may have lacked skill
at the plow and in feed
ing, and knowledge of the
proper mode of expenditure;
but while he was lacking in practical
experience was always aiming for
the best of every thing, and, by expert
ments, educated his neighbors. Though
he knew nothing about milking COW,
Vet he could, at a glance, separate the
different breeds of stock and mate them
for the best results; and his knowledge
of fertilizers, varieties of plants and
pecuiiarities of soils was often far in
advance of his more practical neigh
bors While his efforts were often
failures, they always tended to better
system of cultivation and the introduce
ton of superior stock in the section in
which he operated
If the skilled and practical artisan
considers it his duty to make a study of
architecture, mechanical drawings and
specifications, with the advantage of
books giving the experience and designs
of others. there is no reason for the
farmer to refuse kindred privileges for
himself A knowledge of the progress
made in his calling can be gained only
br study and practical experiment
upon the theories advanced. There
are hundreds of farmers who are ex-
perts in the management of a dairy,
vet who give little or no attention to
the classification of stock; and some of
the most successful horticulturisrs have
no idea of how the varieties of fruit
cultivated by them were produced.
Though farmers, like all other class
es. may be benefited by knowledge,
they are not as slow as is generally
supposed. Every season there are a
great number of conventions held TO
consider agricultural subjects. but the
masses are best educated not only by
the study of agricultural literature, but
by meetings in each locality 1t is at
such meetings that the practical and
theoretical can be compared, and the
experiments and opinions of every
member given. a great advantage Of
local meetings is the facility of inspec-
ton of the farms of such sections and a
direct comparison of the growing
crops. as well as the livestock pos
sessed by each. which affords an oppor-
tunity also to the younger members. in
fusing in them a spirit of progress
which is Sure to result IN benefit in the
future, and TO render agriculture moro
and more profitable. II philadelphia Rec
